A federated internet is forming. It’s built on open protocols like ActivityPub & connects services like Mastodon, Threads, Pixelfed, Tumblr, Wordpress and more into a connected network known as the fediverse. And everyone from tech enthusiasts to Mark Zuckerberg and Jack Dorsey seem to want in.

If the system can’t protect itself from being overwhelmed by the cancer of corporate interests, then it’s never going to survive. New wave internet needs to learn from the downfalls of its predecessor. The design must have protections built in to prevent capitalists from capitalising, or else it will inevitably fall.
Get fucked corporate America! Go get fucked real good. The fediverse was always what the internet was supposed to be. Not this corporate manipulation web you’ve weaved. Get fucked.
can someone here eli5 how Meta is gonna take control of the fediverse? isn’t it supposed to be a decentralized thing?
meh. more fud
meta hasnt declared or made any intention of overtaking the fediverse, but that hasnt stopped a metric fuckton of people freakin the fuck out or generating fud blog post after fud blog post
its like claiming meta is going to overtake and own email because they stood up an email server.
Yes! That is most literally true!
People doubt the face value benign intension of Meta with regard to the Fediverse.
Which leaves uncertainty of their real intention.
Naturally causing fear of a self interested malicious intention.
Which all seem to be quite reasonable concerns, given Meta’s market position and history.
so you agree, its all unfounded scare-mongering vlogs without any substantiating information regarding AP.
grooooovy
As I said, I agree with the literal facts. The implications in your phrasing I disagree with.
Instead of unfounded, I would call it unproven.
Instead of scaremongering I would say warning.
And generally I avoid using absolute terms like “all”, since only it takes one counter example, to make such a statement factually wrong.I absolutely love the clarity of this response
